Westworld’s Key Art Comes From The Future

Perched at the artificial confluence of the near future and the reimagined past, Westworld is a theme park like no other. It’s the brain child of Dr. Robert Ford – played here with mesmerizing intensity by the inimitable Anthony Hopkins – who presides over a technological haven riddled with unsettling secrets and, if you dig deep enough, societal paranoia.

Stoking excitement from the recent trailer reveal – an exercise in thought-provoking sci-fi if we do say so ourselves – HBO has now unveiled the Westworld key art ahead of the show’s premiere in little over a month’s time.

An homage to Leonardo da Vinci’s timeless Vitruvian Man, the artwork is a pointed reminder of Westworld‘s ability to blend the future with America’s Western history. That, and the high-profile talent attached to this new rendition, with co-creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy adorning the masthead along with executive producer J.J. Abrams.

Hailing from the latter side of history is Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood), who is one of the first artificial beings to become fully aware of its own existence. Social upheaval ensues.
